Maybe....asking to Yuki...but I suppose that custom fees and DHL will have larger cost, too much iMHO....but Recaro is a German Company! the model is Sportster S.

I'm a little confused now. I thought who ever had it said it blocked more flow than his stock, so I would assume it would be quieter.

Blue TRD < Grey tS < Stock < Green TRD < Red TRD?

or do you think its louder?

If you see directions on TRD package the red one is the tube that grants much louder and higher sound response.
1.BLUE TRD NO SOUND close no hole, no foam
2.STOCK (BRZ/GT86/SCION FR-S)
3.GREEN TRD MIDDLE WAVE SOUND PROPAGATION
4.RED TRD HIGHER WAVE SOUND PROPAGATION

GREY STI...to Install nextly...but I suppose might be as the RED TRD...

They probably can make it available but the price will most likely be insane. The seats are recaro sportster cs. I'm talking to jpm coachworks about possible custom making an equivalent set but black with red stitching to match are interiors

I don't think it's possible to order the entire Recaro seat assembled from Subaru, only individual parts that make up the seat. It would be nice if the tS seat airbag assembly can be retrofitted onto the Sportster CS.

Being a big dude myself I've never found stock JDM Recaros to be comfortable for any length of distance in daily driving (i.e. Recaros that come with RX-8 R3, Evo X, DC2 Integra Type-R). The only comfortable Recaros so far for me is the base model B7 S4 or base model Porsche cars but they don't really offer much lateral support. Wish they would remake the Recaro Trophy seats from the Mk.2 Golf GTI but I digress.

Sportster CS looks pretty wide for a Recaro so I think they should be comfy (this is an optional seat for ages with VW/Audi outside of North America). I remember they were like at least $5000 a pair to import.

The recaro sportster cs can be ordered with an airbag. It's just the connector that you would need to worry about.

The sti sound generator nozzle will not be as loud as the red. If you look at the review that was posted earlier you can infer that it lessens the air going through and the foam is thicker. The tS cannot be close to the red as it baffles more than stock, the red has no foam at all. If you wanted close to the red sound just pull the foam out of the factory one.

In order of sound level

Trd blue
Subaru tS
Stock
Trd green
Trd red

Sorry......but it looks great in RHD, so why not ask for it in LHD?

I have had nothing but great experiences with Japanparts, and I have made about five orders or more. Why do I care if Subaru makes it or not? (Although all my parts from them have been genuine STI or Subaru parts so far)

What makes this nice is that is not gloss covered "plastic looking" CF. I am not so sure that the new Subaru year model will have something that is not "glossy"

What mistake am I committing? It seems like I have missed something. I am not upset at all about your posts, but I am not sure why it is such a problem for you?

I am ready and willing to listen to whatever you want to say about the subject.

It really doesn't get much clearer than this... If you don't understand then no one can help you.

How is this for not glossy? On both the 2015 FR-S and BRZ.




Via

http://www.autoevolution.com/news/su...015-80461.html
and Scion's Official Press Release
http://pressroom.scion.com/releases/...rs+2015+tc.htm

So yes, although it has been mentioned the 2015 Subaru is to get the new interior and the above link is for Japanese BRZ, you can still stop by a local Toyota/Scion dealer since its in the official 2015 FR-S press release. But if you feel like asking japanparts.com to locate a LHD one for you earlier, all the power to you.

I will check it out when the 2015's come out if I can wait that long. But it turns out my wife now prefers the idea of getting more Alcantara, by getiing JPM Coachworks dash panel. (Already have instrument cover, knee pads and door speakers) Not sure which direction I will go, but the silver will be replaced. Thanks for your input.

So today got my my Pin Stripes installed

Manythanks to "Trap63" for the guidance

Honestly, i was a little bit afraid to stick them on alone without help

cause i had only one chance, otherwise i need a new pair it

and we all know, the small little stickers are expensive ;-)

So i decided to take help from a Car Foil Company here in my Town.

For them it was an easy Job.......

When i phoned him up he was happy to see my car cause he had never

seen a BRZ Full STI Equiped before.

So, he promptly take his time for me and my BRZ.

He explained me everyhing about Foil´s and we do the Job

together then.

I had the knowledge from Trap63

to get the Stripes in a perfect Position on my car

and the Foil Company Guy had the perfect hand for the

small fragile pieces

First i was a little bit sad ,cause i had the OEM Subaru Door Sticker Stripes

on my Car before.

Here is a Photo of my Car before ( Sideview )






The Subaru Door Sticker Stripes were also cool.

ok , i miss them a bit .......

But they are gone now................cause STI rules

It's amazing BRZ! fine!...wheels are coming from Japan or you can find them in Germany? are they 18"? if yes I read often "18" Zoll Frei"....what means for german road rules? I think to expatriate (and plate) my BRZ to Germany to install with TUV the 18" rims as in Italy Subaru doesn't accept these measures...for road legal use and no authorization is given.
